At least they have it. Tried the local NAPA store today. Nothing sitting out in the store. Asked the guy behind the counter, says they have two gallons left. Brings out 2 jugs of the Zerex old-fashioned green crap.

Told him no, I need the Zerex G-05 in the gold jug. Guy flat out told me that the green stuff was the only type Zerex made, and the only type they carry! Even refused to see if he could order any, again telling me that Zerex didn't make that type of coolant.

Told him that's funny, NAPA website says they DO make it, and that YOU are supposed to carry it, but no problem, I'll just go to the Ford dealer a half-mile down the road and buy some Motorcraft Premium Gold. It's the same stuff, and probably cheaper than what you'd charge any way! Turned around and walked out.

Seems like the only requirement to work in an auto parts store these days is the ability to swipe a debit card.
